More Reliable Low-Battery Docking

If Matic's lid is open when it returns to the dock on a low battery, it now backs onto the dock so the lid closes on contact, instead of shutting down in place.

Smarter Pet Waste Detection

Matic's pet waste detection is now about 2× more reliable. The algorithm is now trained on many more diverse scenarios, so Matic spots and avoids pet waste more consistently.

More Accurate Cleaning Summaries

Fixed an issue where a targeted clean (for example, just the toekicks in a room) could show misleadingly low coverage for that area. Coverage stats now reflect just what you asked Matic to clean.

Introducing Matic Cues — Voice & Gesture Control

Talk to Matic like you'd talk to a helper. Matic understands natural language, so say it your way. Here's everything you can ask:

  • Clean a room: "Hey, Matic — clean the kitchen." Works with mopping and vacuuming too: "mop the bedroom," "vacuum the hallway." You can chain multiple rooms in one command.
  • Clean everywhere: "Clean the whole house," "clean all rooms."
  • Clean by surface or detail: "Clean the carpets," "clean the hard floors," "clean the edges," "clean the toekicks" — target exactly the surfaces that need it, in one room or the whole home.
  • Clean this: Point at a spot and say "clean this" — Matic sees where you're pointing and cleans that exact area.
  • Clean it again: "Redo last clean" repeats your most recent cleaning session.
  • Send it somewhere: "Go to the kitchen" sends Matic to any room you've named on your map.
  • Follow me: "Follow me" — Matic follows you to wherever needs attention.
  • Refill: "Go to the sink" — Matic comes to the sink for a water refill.
  • Pause and resume: "Pause" holds position until you say "resume."
  • Go home: "Dock" sends Matic back to its charger.
  • Give me space: "Go away" — Matic skips the current room and moves on, or heads back to the dock.

Faster Room-to-Room Cleaning

Path planning between rooms is now up to 2× faster, so Matic spends less time thinking and more time cleaning, especially when starting a session from the dock.

Smoother Mopping

Matic now correctly recognizes when it's genuinely stuck while mopping and recovers on its own, without falsely pausing during normal mopping turns.

Smarter Room Boundaries

Matic now draws more accurate room boundaries on your map, and when boundaries update, your schedules automatically carry over instead of needing to be recreated.

More Reliable Jam Alerts

Fixed an issue where a brush jam during a manually started clean could leave Matic waiting silently instead of letting you know.

Better Cleaning at Higher Altitudes

Matic now accounts for ambient air pressure, fixing false "Air Flap Stuck" alerts and improving suction performance in homes at elevation.

More Reliable Charging

If Matic docks while its battery is warm, it now waits for it to cool before charging, preventing charging from stalling.

Smarter Water Alerts

Fixed an issue where Matic could warn about low water right after a refill when an upcoming clean needs more than a full tank.
